Obama'a Taxpayer funded Campaign Tour.

For $80k plus it better be.

That's true. And electric motors have maximum horsepower and torque at 1 rpm. An internal combustion engine like the one in my car has 437 horsepower but it has to get to 4500 rpm to have that. At 1000 rpm I probably have less than half that. You ever check out the performance specs on a Tesla? Pretty impressive.

Yes. Sadly, they're discontinuing the line for a more affordable, mainstream version.

Next year, when the REPUBLICAN candidate is tooling around in one of those buses I expect all of you to complain about that carbon "Bootprint" also. How did President Bush travel? Did he fly on an electric airplane? Did he fly to Texas in a GLIDER? Did he hop on a train? Was he riding around in a ****ing PRIUS?

Did all of you miss this??

The Secret Service has revealed to Talking Points Memo that the government has purchased two armored buses for use by President Barack Obama and Republican candidates in the 2012 presidential campaign and beyond.

As for vacation time....

Presidential vacations: How does Obama compare?

There has been criticism of the president's vacation at this time. But how does the number of vacation days the president has spent compare to his predecessors? CBS Radio's Mark Knoller has kept track of presidential vacations for years and supplied the data.


So far, President Obama has taken 61 vacation days after 31 months in office. At this point in their presidencies, George W. Bush had spent 180 days at his ranch where his staff often joined him for meetings. And Ronald Reagan had taken 112 vacation days at his ranch.


Among recent presidents, Bill Clinton took the least time off -- 28 days.




Just a reminder that the government keeps track of these numbers.

For President Bush.

Number Of Political Fund-Raisers Attended By President Bush: 338


Amount Or Money Raised At These Fund-Raisers: $802,586,070
(Some campaigns refused to disclose the amounts)


Number Of Flights On Air Force One: 1,674
(Source: Presidential Airlift Group)


Number Of Miles Flown On Air Force One: 1,490,698
(Presidential Airlift Group)




Number Of Visits To Camp David: 149, totaling all or part of 487 days.

Number Of Visits To His Texas Ranch: 77, totaling all or part of 490 days.

Number Of Out Of Town Domestic Trips: 609
(That's not counting Camp David visits or bike riding outings)


Number Of Foreign Trips: 49




487+490= 977. The average federal employee gets 30 days PAID VACATION per year.

977 / 8 = 122 days PER YEAR on vacation.

gunslinger......REPUBLICAN candidate sure will use them because obummer bought them and we own them for the next ten years..
